Increasing a price and very quickly reducing the price as an 'offer' is unethical. It is a banned practice here in the UK. We have OFCOM for stuff like that.

Saying it's banned in the UK is kind of wrong. Have you never seen any of those adverts that say some product is now only some low price with a disclaimer underneath saying the price it was at the higher price for a period of like 5 days or something. They have it at the higher price for a very short period for the sole purpose of advertising it as a new low price, that is legal here and happens all the time.


So, I'm sensing Fireburn95 doesn't know UK consumer law either or how consumerism works in the UK. 

Glad he/she chimed in on the subject, much value added.   Thanks for the clarification on UK pricing, Ka-Pi96.
